Geography

The Desert Resort is a large, barren desert. A sandstorm is always occurring. Like Route 4, the Desert Resort has deep sand rather than tall grass. There are many hills and valleys along its barren ground. In the center of the resort is one of the entrances to the Relic Castle. This entrance is guarded by statues which are actually Darmanitan in their Zen Mode. If the player uses a RageCandyBar on them, they can be awoken, and will have the Zen Mode Ability. The other entrance to the Relic Castle is found on the far northeast of the resort. At the top of the resort, a hillside can be seen sliding into the ocean.
